'Christ, the Lord, is risen today!'

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 1,183 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Christ the Lord is risen today!' all creation join to say: raise your joys and triumphs high; sing, you heavens, and earth reply: love's redeeming work is done! Fought the fight, the battle won: see, our sun's eclipse has passed see, the light returns at last! 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal: Christ has burst the gates of hell; death in vain forbids Him rise — Christ has opened Paradise; lives again our glorious King; where, O Death, is now your sting? Once He died, our souls to save; where's your victory, boasting grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ has led, following our exalted head; made like Him, like Him we rise; ours the cross, the grave, the skies: hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to You by both be given; every knee to You shall bow, risen Christ, triumphant now! Used With Tune: ST GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Adapt: Compilers of Praise!, 2000

Where high the heav'nly temple stands

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heav'nly temple stands, the house of God not made with hands, a great High Priest our nature wears, the guardian of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, and pour'd on earth his precious blood, pursues in heav'n his mighty plan, the Saviour and the friend of man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, he bends on earth a brother's eye; partaker of the human name, he knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-suff'rer yet retains a fellow-feeling of our pains; and still remembers in the skies his tears, his agonies, and cries. 5 In ev'ry pang that rends the heart the Man of sorrows had a part; he sympathizes with our grief, and to the suff'rer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, let us make all our sorrows known; and ask the aid of heav'nly pow'r to help us in the evil hour.

All beautiful the march of days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile, 1878-1939 Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.8.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose has wrought the crystal of the snow, has sent the silvery frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, and laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold; the solemn splendours of the night burn brighter through the cold; life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth, and clearer sounds the angel hymn, 'Good will to all on earth.' 3 O God, from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, Yourself the vision passing by in crystal and in rose; day unto day declare thro' speech, and night to night proclaim in ever-changing words of light the wonder of Your name.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Author: John Newton, 1725-1806 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,627 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; it satisfies the hungry soul, and gives the weary rest. 3 Dear Name, the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place; my never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace! 4 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend, my prophet, priest, and king; my Lord, my life, my way, my end — accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see You as You are, I'll praise You as I ought. 6 Till then I would Your love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of Your name refresh my soul in death.

O thou my soul, bless God the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou my soul, bless God the Lord; and all that in me is be stirred up his holy name to magnify and bless. 2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God, and not forgetful be of all his gracious benefits he hath bestowed on thee. 3 All thine iniquities who doth most graciously forgive: who thy diseases all and pains doth heal, and thee relieve. 4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou to death mayest not go down; who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown: 5 Who with abundance of good things doth satisfy thy mouth; so that, even as the eagle’s age, renewed is thy youth. 6 God righteous judgment executes for all oppressed ones. 7 His ways to Moses he made known, his acts to Israel’s sons. 8 The Lord our God is merciful, and he is gracious, long-suffering, and slow to wrath, in mercy plenteous. 9 He will not chide continually, nor keep his anger still. 10 With us he dealt not as we sinned, nor did requite our ill. 11 For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far, so great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are: 12 As far as east is distant from the west, so far hath he from us removed, in his love, all our iniquity. 13 Such pity as a father hath unto his children dear, like pity shows the Lord to such as worship him in fear. 14 For he remembers we are dust, and he our frame well knows. 15 Frail man, his days are like the grass, as flower in field he grows: 16 For over it the wind doth pass, and it away is gone; and of the place where once it was it shall no more be known. 17 But unto them that do him fear God’s mercy never ends; and to their children’s children still his righteousness extends: 18 To such as keep his covenant, and mindful are alway Of his commandments just and good, that they may them obey.
